American Pet Nutrition (APN) is taking pet nutrition to a new level as it announces the launch of a super premium dog food called Elevate™. Inspired by the spirit of outdoors and adventure, the new brand will be available exclusively in independent pet stores across the nation in July 2017. To further support independent distribution channels, Elevate will not be sold online.

"We’re excited to introduce to dog owners an option that will fulfill their dogs’ natural cravings for real meat and premium flavors,” says Jim Reimann, brand manager. “We’ve made it our commitment to offer nothing but the highest quality ingredients in our recipes, by loading them with superfoods and removing typical fillers that are not as nutritious for dogs.”

With real meat as the first ingredient of the four savory Elevate recipes, the premium nutrition is available in dry kibble or wet canned options. Each recipe is crafted in the U.S.A, and influenced by the awe-inspiring national park that shares its name.

Acadia recipe

This recipe gets outside of the ordinary with real deboned chicken as the leading ingredient. It also includes premium turkey and duck creating a healthy blend of protein.

Grand Teton recipe

With real lamb as the No. 1 ingredient, the Grand Teton recipe also includes turkey as it journeys into nutritious terrain and appeals to a dog’s instinctual appetite.

Smoky Mountain recipe

This recipe is made with real pork and premium wild boar, reaching peak levels of protein.

Yosemite recipe

Real salmon is at the forefront of this recipe, setting dogs off on a nutritious adventure.

Venturing even further into nutritional terrain, the recipes also includes a powerful antioxidant blend containing dried seaweed, cranberries, spinach and blueberries, helping to support the immune system and healthy digestion. In addition, each recipe includes rich sources of Omega-3 and 6 promote a healthy skin and coat. All Elevate dog food is made without corn, soy, wheat, potatoes or artificial flavors and preservatives.

Elevate dog food is produced at plants that are SQF certified and all ingredient suppliers have been thoroughly vetted to ensure quality and safety. Elevate does not source anything from China.

“One of the driving forces behind the introduction of Elevate is to support independent distribution and pet retailers with a unique and innovative product that is exclusive to their stores,” says Reimann.
